HABITS THAT SHOW IMPROPER UPBRINGING OF CHILDREN.
Dear Parents Please, carefully look at the list below and identify where you may want to make amends on yourself or on the young ones you are bringing up.

Children, if not properly groomed may never get to the top in life, even if both parents are at the top of their careers.
Manners take you to where your education can't irrespective of your status, wealth or your reach or influence:

1) Going to your child's school indecently dressed. (Think again).

2) Speaking rashly to your child's teacher.

3) Cursing, using foul language or swearing words in front of your children.

4) Using makeup on children.

5) Dressing your little children up indecently (they loose their sense of Princess Hood).

6) Putting earrings on your son's ears.

7) Your child holds the cup or glassware by the brim and you don't correct.

8) Your children don't greet and you just feel they will come around one day because they have a mood swing. (You will be blamed for it).

9) Your children eat with their mouth opened and you feel they will grow up some day.

10) Your children bringing home something you did not buy for them and you say nothing. (that is the beginning of stealing).

11) The Children talk back at you and you conclude it's okay since you are a 21st century Parent. (You will hate yourself if they do that outside and they are disciplined).

12) The Children interrupt when you are speaking with another adult and you think they are bold and clever. (Its really bad manners).

13) The Children exercising authority over the Nanny and domestic staff and you let them be. (that is bad parenting).

14) The Children saying things like "my driver is on his way..." I do not advocate that children should call your domestic staff Uncle, Aunty or Brother, calling them by Name when they are not young people is not proper either. The use of Miss, Mr or Mrs will look good on them.

15) Your children don't say a 'thank you' when they have been helped or served something and you are cool with that. (Bad parenting).

16) When your Children cannot stand children who are less privileged.

18) When the Children pick their noses with their hands.

19) When the Children don't wash their hands after visiting the washroom or after returning from school or outside visits.

20) When your Children take something from the fridge without seeking permission. (Bad parenting).

21) When your Children don't knock on closed doors and wait for a response before opening the door.

22) When your Children don't collect from your hands items you brought in as you walk into your home.

23) When your Children request for a bribe to carry out their home chores or extra tasks. (That is disgraceful).

24) When your Children act like their Grandparents irritate them. (It's a Transferable Curse).

25) When your Children have not learnt to get up from the Chair for the Elderly or Visitors to sit.

26) When your Child tells lot of Lies. (You will both cry in the future).

27) When your Children ask "who is that?" at a knock on the door instead of "please, may I know who is there."

28) When your Child is always seated by your Visitors when being served Drinks or Food.

29) When your Children still point their fingers at other people, when talking to or speaking about them.

30) When your Children play and jump around when Prayers are going on. (These can apply to Children from Ages 4 and Above).

31) When a child wakes up in the morning, just staring at his/her Parents and Elders without greeting. (It is a bad habit and does not show good upbringing).

• Don't be a 21st Century Parents who can't correct their Children.

• Train your Children in the way of the Lord so that when they grow up they will not depart from such Godly Training or Upbringing.

IT IS BETTER TO LET YOUR CHILDREN CRY AT AN EARLY AGE WHEN YOU CORRECT THEM; IF NOT, YOU WILL BOTH CRY AT NIGHT WHEN THEY BRING DISGRACE TO THE FAMILY!.

He tightened his grip on the fork. The moment the man crossed the threshold, he buried it in the man’s neck. The man’s head slammed against the wall. He yanked the fork free and stabbed again until the man collapsed, dead. Then he seized the man’s pistol.
Beyond his cell, a dimly lit corridor lined with metal doors buzzed with chaos. A system malfunction had sprung the locks, and prisoners roamed free. No one, including him—perhaps someone among them—knew what was happening.

The man he’d killed wore a correctional officer’s uniform. As he fumbled to unhook the officer’s utility belt, laden with cuffs and gadgets, another figure in blue overalls, like his own, shoved through the bars.
The newcomer, a psychopath wielding a baton, swung hard. He ducked, landing a sharp jab to the man’s throat, crushing his trachea. The baton clattered to the floor as the man clutched his neck, collapsing onto the dead officer, gasping. He rolled the man over and shot him in the face.

The man he’d shot was a psycho. He was a psycho. So was every prisoner tearing through that corridor.
Horrible sounds echoed—familiar voices begging for mercy, others laughing, some hurling curses, and a few screaming without aim. This wasn’t how he’d planned his day. He was supposed to do push-ups until night fell. In his windowless cell, time was a mystery, marked only by the meal plan. He hadn’t received breakfast.

Why do you train? the voice in his head always asked. He never answered. So when it asked where he’d go if he escaped, he stayed silent and sank onto the thin mattress.

Another man in blue overalls pushed the gate open, peering inside. His gaze lingered on the corpses and the blood’s grim artistry. Bushy-haired, with a beard swallowing his words, the man spoke. “Oh, well,” he said, his voice drowned by the distant uproar.
The man stepped in and sat beside him on the bed.

“No reason to leave, eh?”

He didn’t reply. The man continued, “In jail, you’ve got time to think. I figured life might’ve turned out fine if some things—some people—never existed.”

If the people who shaped his life hadn’t existed, neither would he. He cleared his throat and spoke.

“Life would’ve been different if my parents weren’t who they were. I am what they made me. And I need to end it.” He extended the pistol. “Shoot me.”
The man opened his mouth, but he cut him off. “I’ve thought about it. Don’t talk. Just do it.”

A worker was employed at a frozen fish factory. One day, while doing his job, he accidentally closed the refrigerator door while he was inside. He began shouting for help, but the workday had ended, and no one was left in the factory. Realizing this, he understood he was about to freeze to death.

However, at some point, the factory guard opened the refrigerator door and saved him from a terrible and certain death.

The factory manager asked the guard:

“How did you know the worker was still inside and hadn’t left?”

The guard replied:

“None of the workers ever greets me except for him. He always smiles at me and asks how I’m doing. That day, at closing time, I neither saw nor heard him. I knew— I was sure—he was still in the factory, so I searched for him until I found him.”

A kind word saved that man’s life. Kindness leaves an imprint on minds and hearts, melts even ice, opens iron doors, and can save lives.
